01.25.23 - NCCS Explore/ADAPT Science Cloud Enables Machine Learning-Based Crop Type and Yield Estimates in Burkina Faso, West Africa: The NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) Explore/ADAPT Science Cloud enabled NASA Goddard Space Flight Center scientists and collaborators to leverage machine learning models and satellite data to predict crop type and yields in Burkina Faso, West Africa..

01.04.23 - Merging Edge Devices and AI with Supercomputing Climate Simulations: Daniel Duffy, chief of the Computational and Information Sciences and Technology Office and the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, describes how NASA's use of AI and machine learning has accelerated in recent years to bridge data gaps and speed solutions.

01.03.23 - Stratospheric Ozone Forecasts are Realistic When Using the Chemical Mechanism in the GEOS-CF System: The GEOS Composition Forecast (GEOS-CF) system, running at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS), provides global near-real-time 5-day forecasts of atmospheric composition. Among others, a GEOS-CF forecast was verified to be in good agreement with NASA’s daily observation-based Ozone Watch analysis of total column ozone that decreases over the 5-day forecast.

12.23.22 - The World's Largest Turbulence Simulation Unmasks the Flow of Energy in Astrophysical Plasmas: Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory researchers and collaborators have uncovered a previously hidden heating process that helps explain how the atmosphere that surrounds the Sun called the “solar corona” can be vastly hotter than the solar surface that emits it. The discovery leveraged computational resources from NASA High-End Computing’s NASA Advanced Supercomputing facility, the Department of Energy’s National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, and the National Science Foundation-sponsored Computational and Information Systems Laboratory.

12.21.22 - NASA’s SMCE Team Helps Scientists Develop Collaborative Cloud Computing Projects: An agile team of computer experts at NASA Goddard helps scientists collaborate and develop Open Science projects in astrophysics, Earth science, biology, and heliophysics by creating the SMCE managed cloud environment for science.

12.20.22 - The Gift that Keeps on Giving: NAS Division Research in 2022: Launch pad safety. Mars landings. Cleaner, quieter aircraft. These and more selected projects led by NAS Division experts over the past year will benefit agency missions and projects for years to come! All were presented during SC22, the International Conference for High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis, where NASA returned in person this year to showcase the science and engineering made possible by the agency’s supercomputers.
